Nutritional status, Echinacea (increases White blood cell + counts), possibly hormone balance (could try Agnus Castus) and omega-3 foods (also anti-infammatory)~ salmon and other oily fish, linseed oil; allicin power plus, or original (can be too strong) ~ try 1-2 per day. Probiotics ~ eg. boots travel 10 billion 1~2 per day or 3-lac. Sugar-free diet. fruit may be ok. Water. Digestion might need healing eg. chickweed (anti-fungal, anti-infalmmatory,soothing), digestive enzymes if required, glutamine for digestive lining.

I would be grateful for advice....I have had thrush for over 3 years now.....most of the time. The hospital are at a loss. We have tried fluconazole/itraconazole etc by various methods and it still comes. As a result of this almost contiuous thrush I have now vulvodynia and severe vaginismus. Life is hell and I have depression.Please can you offer me advice I don't know where to try next.

I Really Feel For You, I Have Had Thrush For Two Days Now, Iv Only Ever Had It Once Before And That Cleared Up With Canesten Cream. Now I Have It Again, And I Have Taken The Oral Canesten Pill, And Applying The Cream, It Feels A Little Bit Better But I Have Just Found Out That Baking Soda Is Ment To Be Good For Helping To Clear It, So I Tryed It .. It Feels Much Better, Still There A Little, But Not Half As Much As It Was. Use About Half A Cup Of Baking Soda And There Should Be Abit Of Relief. Hope Its Helped. :)
